Assessment of quality of life in patients with Müllerian anomalies at a referral center in Colombia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate quality of life in pediatric patients with Müllerian anomalies who underwent surgical intervention between 2018 and 2023.
methodsA retrospective descriptive case series was conducted including patients younger than 18 years who underwent surgical correction for Müllerian anomalies between 2018 and 2023. Quality of life was assessed using the validated Spanish version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0
resultsThe most frequent anomalies were longitudinal vaginal septum and uterus didelphys (42.8%), while OHVIRA syndrome was least common (2.9%). Renal agenesis occurred in 28.6% of patients, predominantly right-sided (80%), and anorectal malformations (ARM) were associated in 57.1%. All underwent vaginoscopy and surgery, most commonly vaginal septum resection (40%). The PedsQL was applied by phone to all patients, with a mean follow-up of 48 months. Mean quality-of-life scores were good and comparable between parent-proxy and self-reports in the 13-18-year (73.34 vs. 77.51) and 8-12-year (68.75 vs. 72.82) groups. The highest scores were in the 2-4-year (80.43) and 5-7-year (79.71) groups. Emotional functioning consistently scored lowest, while physical and social functioning were highest. Currently, 25.7% of patients have initiated sexual activity, and two have had children-one by vaginal delivery and one by cesarean.
conclusionsPediatric patients with Müllerian anomalies demonstrated good postoperative quality of life, highlighting the positive impact of timely surgical management on physical, social, and reproductive outcomes.
